Following the completion of post-closing audits at the property, the Trust paid a special final distribution in the gross amount of US$1,114,455.44 (US$30.68 per unit) to unitholders of record as of August 15, 2017 with a payable date of August 18, 2017.

The Trust expects to provide notice of its intention to terminate and dissolve to The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS") in due course and expects to complete the dissolution at the end of 2017. The notice shall, among other things, further specify the termination date and the location at which CDS is to surrender the certificate representing the units for cancellation.

Steve Evans, Founder and CFO commented, "Since its initial public offering, Sunstone US#3 has distributed a gross total of US$15,362.70 for every US$12,500 invested. On a total return basis, the Fund performed well delivering a 22.9% return on equity (USD). We are pleased to have distributed the proceeds from our final asset sale and thank investors for their participation in the fund."

Final Special Distribution

As a result of the post-closing adjustments including but not limited to a reduction on estimated remaining costs for the fund, and the sale of remaining HOT.UN units, Sunstone issued a final special distribution totalling a gross amount of US$1,114,455.44 (US$30.68 per unit) to unitholders of record as of August 15, 2017 with a payable date of August 18, 2017. The regular earnings and profits of the distribution are subject to an automatic 30% US withholding tax. Please note that the withholding amount will be submitted by Sunstone to the IRS. Please note that U.S. withholding amounts are based on Sunstone's best estimates at the time of distribution, and may be amended to reflect the year-end final allocation. Tax records will be generated to reflect the appropriate U.S. withholding.

Until such time that CDS surrenders the certificate, the Sunstone US#3 units should be valued at $NIL.

CDS will issue a bulletin to advise participants of any adjustments to the tax records to reflect year-end rebalancing between actual US tax liability and US withholding taxes paid to the IRS.
